How to Make a Backyard Movie Screen

### Step 1: Gather your materials.

* 1 white queen-size sheet

* 2-4 pieces of 1x2 inch wood, each 8 feet long

* 1 roll of 1/4 inch rope

* 4 eye hooks

* 4 wood screws

* A drill

* A saw

* A staple gun

* A measuring tape

* A level

Step 2: Build the frame.

1. Cut the 1x2 inch wood into four 8-foot pieces.

2. Assemble the frame by attaching the four pieces of wood together with the wood screws. Make sure the frame is square.

Step 3: Attach the sheet to the frame.

1. Lay the sheet flat on the ground.

2. Center the frame on the sheet.

3. Staple the sheet to the frame, starting in the middle and working your way out to the edges.

Step 4: Hang the screen.

1. Determine the best location for your screen. It should be in a place where it will be visible from all of the seating.

2. Hang the screen from the eye hooks using the rope.

3. Make sure the screen is level.

Step 5: Enjoy your movie night!

Invite your friends and family over for a movie night under the stars. You can use a projector or a DVD player to show the movie. Don't forget the popcorn!

Tips:

* If you don't have a projector, you can use a TV instead. Just make sure the TV is large enough to be seen from all of the seating.

* You can also add some decorations to your backyard movie theater. Hang some string lights, put up a few lawn chairs, and set out some blankets and pillows.

* Make sure to check the weather forecast before you have your movie night. You don't want the rain to ruin your fun!
